Clear, direct answers about NjordDeploy's architecture, hardware support, and how it compares to alternatives.
NjordDeploy is an agentless, metadata-driven deployment orchestrator for self-hosting Docker and Rootless Podman applications on Linux servers and SBCs (like Raspberry Pi or Proxmox VE). It connects strictly over SSH, renders Jinja2 Compose templates with automated port conflict resolution, and uploads them as an atomic compressed tarball without installing Python or background agent daemons on the target machine.
Unlike CasaOS, Umbrel, or Cosmos Cloud, NjordDeploy requires zero server-side daemons or proprietary background agents on the target host—preserving 100% of RAM and CPU for workloads. Unlike Portainer, which manages existing container daemons via an agent, NjordDeploy handles complete hardware discovery, Proxmox hypervisor provisioning, Jinja2 template composition, and Rootless Podman unprivileged port mapping from an external control machine or REST API.
No. NjordDeploy enforces a strict 'No Python on Target' architectural policy. The target server only requires an SSH server and a container runtime (Docker or Rootless Podman). All automation tasks execute via native shell commands and containerized binaries.
Yes. NjordDeploy is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (BSL-1.1) and is 100% free forever for personal use, homelabs, and managing up to 2 target server nodes with unlimited container deployments. Each release automatically transitions to the open-source Apache 2.0 license after 2 years.
